GDPR, Analytics, Big Data, IoT, Data Science - these all demand a high level of data awareness across every organisation. So why is it so difficult to get some organisations to take data management seriously?

This talk focused on how you can easily demonstrate to key decision makers how you add significant value as a vital business resource to assist with ensuring the integrity of data, hitting compliance requirements (e.g. GDPR) and mitigating business risk.

This was a great opportunity to hear a successful female IT manager challenging the data management community on how we can support our organisation's success.
